In 2018, the Daily Beast published an article titled âMeet the Double Agent Who Now Controls House Conservatives,â in reference to now-Speaker Mike Johnson.
The article alleges that Johnson was a âmoleâ for the House Freedom Caucus to infiltrate the larger Republican congressional groups, and with the way things have been going, Glenn Beck is wondering if thereâs a chance the article may have been right.
Christopher Bedford, Blaze Media’s new Washington correspondent and senior politics editor, is not completely sold.
âWhen he became the new chairman of the Republican Study Committee, a lot of his colleagues, Republican, more liberal colleagues, said, âWell, this guyâs just a double agent. He just sneaked on here. Heâs pretending to not be a part of the Freedom Caucus, the conservative group, but, really, this is just a conservative takeover.'”
âI looked at that, and I looked at how since heâd become speaker, someone who I had a lot of hope for, you had a lot of hope for. … And itâs been extremely disappointing,â he tells Glenn.
âThat might be an understatement,â Glenn laughs.
âThe sad reality [is],â Bedford explains, âa lot of these folks are pretty weak as leaders and people.â
âWhen youâre in the center,â he continues, âand you take all those arrows and all those slings and all those scary SCIF meetings from the intel community, and itâs all on you, you have to answer to that. Well, thatâs when you find out whoâs really a leader, and whoâs just ambitious.â
